Robbie Williams – Be A Boy Lyrics
When you're young you hope to be
Menacing in vanity
6 feet tall, maybe more
Bigger now than before
[Pre-chorus:]
They said it was leaving me
The magic was leaving me
I don't think so, I don't think so
[Chorus:]
They said it was leaving
They said it went on
Now I could make this last forever
And be a boy, be a boy
When you're young you hope to see
And carve your name into the street
Bout your words of satellites
That keep the wasted up tonight
[Pre-chorus:]
They said it was leaving me
The magic was leaving me
I don't think so, I don't think so
[Chorus:]
They said it was leaving
They said it went on
Now I could make this last forever
And be a boy, be a boy
There's safety in the jungle
If you treat it like a toy
Make sure you talk to strangers
And be a boy, be a boy
[Pre-chorus:]
They said it was leaving me
The magic was leaving me
I don't think so, I don't think so
[x2:]
All of the boys are gonna be someone
The time you caught but it was gone
The time you caught but it was gone
It takes a big man to be someone
I'm half your age and lived twice your life
And I own the streets, you walk tonight
The time you caught but it's not mine
It takes a big man to be someone
I'm half your age and lived twice your life
And I don't sleep alone tonight
The time you caught but it's not mine
It takes a big man to be someone
